“Take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape!” So says time-tossed astronaut George Taylor (Charlton Heston) to his intelligent ape captors on the mysterious planet where he has crash-landed. Franklin J. Schaffner’s enduring sci-fi classic is memorable for the breakthrough makeup effects that transformed Roddy McDowall, Kim Hunter and Maurice Evans into ape scientists Dr. Cornelius, Dr. Zira and Dr. Zaius, earning makeup artist John Chambers an honorary Oscar®. The ace script is credited to THE TWILIGHT ZONE creator Rod Serling and former blacklistee Michael Wilson and the pulse-pounding score is by the great Jerry Goldsmith. DIR Franklin J.
